Sharon Spray, associate professor and chair of the Department of Political Science, and Laura Roselle, professor of political science, have published the second edition of their book, Research and Writing in International Relations. The textbook presents step-by-step guidance and resources needed to compose political science research papers that go beyond description and into systematic and sophisticated inquiry.
The book was developed to enhance writing within the discipline of political science at Elon and beyond. Universities in the US and abroad have adopted this book for students in all levels of political science classes and for students producing honors and other undergraduate research papers and theses. Spray and Roselle are finishing work on another book – addressing research and writing in comparative politics – which is scheduled for publication in 2012.
